< Genesis 12 >

1 And he said Yahweh to Abram go for yourself from land your and from kindred your and from [the] household of father your to the land which I will show you.
HERREN sagde til Abram: »Drag ud fra dit Land, fra din Slægt og din Faders Hus til det Land, jeg vil vise dig;
2 So I may make you into a nation great and I will bless you and I will make great name your and you be a blessing.
saa vil jeg gøre dig til et stort Folk, og jeg vil velsigne dig og gøre dit Navn stort, og vær en Velsignelse!
3 So let me bless [those who] bless you and [one who] disdains you I will curse and they will be blessed by you all [the] clans of the earth.
Jeg vil velsigne dem, der velsigner dig, og forbande dem, der forbander dig; i dig skal alle Jordens Slægter velsignes!«
4 And he went Abram just as he had said to him Yahweh and he went with him Lot and Abram [was] a son of five years and seventy year[s] when came out he from Haran.
Og Abram gik, som HERREN sagde til ham, og Lot gik med ham. Abram var fem og halvfjerdsindstyve Aar, da han drog fra Karan;
5 And he took Abram Sarai wife his and Lot [the] son of brother his and all possession[s] their which they had accumulated and the person[s] whom they had acquired in Haran and they went out to go [the] land of towards Canaan and they came [the] land of towards Canaan.
og Abram tog sin Hustru Saraj og sin Brodersøn Lot og al den Ejendom, de havde samlet sig, og de Folk, de havde vundet sig i Karan, og de gav sig paa Vej til Kana'ans Land og naaede derhen.
6 And he passed Abram in the land to [the] place of Shechem to [the] great tree of Moreh and the Canaanite[s] then [was] in the land.
Derpaa drog Abram gennem Landet til Sikems hellige Sted, til Sandsigerens Træ. Det var dengang Kana'anæerne boede i Landet.
7 And he appeared Yahweh to Abram and he said to offspring your I will give the land this and he built there an altar to Yahweh who had appeared to him.
Men HERREN aabenbarede sig for Abram og sagde til ham: »Dit Afkom giver jeg dette Land!« Da byggede han der et Alter for HERREN, som havde aabenbaret sig for ham.
8 And he moved on from there the hill country towards from [the] east of Beth-el and he pitched (tent his *Q(K)*) Beth-el [was] from [the] west and Ai [was] from [the] east and he built there an altar to Yahweh and he called on [the] name of Yahweh.
Derpaa brød han op derfra og drog til Bjergene østen for Betel, og han slog Lejr med Betel mod Vest og Aj mod Øst; og han byggede HERREN et Alter der og paakaldte HERRENS Navn.
9 And he journeyed Abram going and journeying the south towards.
Derpaa drog Abram fra Plads til Plads og naaede Sydlandet.
10 And it was a famine in the land and he went down Abram Egypt towards to sojourn there for [was] heavy the famine in the land.
Der opstod Hungersnød i Landet; og da Hungersnøden i Landet blev trykkende, drog Abram ned til Ægypten for at bo der som fremmed.
11 And it was just as he drew near to enter Egypt and he said to Sarai wife his here! please I know that [are] a woman beautiful of appearance you.
Da han nu nærmede sig Ægypten, sagde han til sin Hustru Saraj: »Jeg ved jo, at du er en smuk Kvinde;
12 And it will be that they will see you the Egyptians and they will say [is] wife his this and they will kill me and you they will let live.
naar nu Ægypterne ser dig, og de mener, at du er min Hustru, slaar de mig ihjel og lader dig leve;
13 Say please [are] sister my you so that it may go well for me for sake of you and it will live life my on account of you.
sig derfor, at du er min Søster, for at det maa gaa mig godt, og jeg ikke skal miste Livet for din Skyld!«
14 And it was when entered Abram Egypt and they saw the Egyptians the woman that [was] beautiful she very.
Da han saa drog ind i Ægypten, saa Ægypterne, at hun var en saare smuk Kvinde;
15 And they saw her [the] officials of Pharaoh and they praised her to Pharaoh and she was taken the woman [the] house of Pharaoh.
og Faraos Stormænd, der saa hende, priste hende for Farao, og saa blev Kvinden ført til Faraos Hus.
16 And to Abram he did good for sake of her and it be[longed] to him sheep and cattle and [male] donkeys and [male] servants and female servants and female donkeys and camels.
Men Abram behandlede han godt for hendes Skyld, og han fik Smaakvæg, Hornkvæg og Æsler, Trælle og Trælkvinder, Aseninder og Kameler.
17 And he struck Yahweh - Pharaoh plagues great and house his on [the] matter of Sarai [the] wife of Abram.
Men HERREN ramte Farao og hans Hus med svære Plager for Abrams Hustru Sarajs Skyld.
18 And he summoned Pharaoh Abram and he said what? this have you done to me why? not did you tell to me that [was] wife your she.
Da lod Farao Abram kalde og sagde: »Hvad har du gjort imod mig! Hvorfor lod du mig ikke vide, at hun er din Hustru?
19 Why? did you say [is] sister my she and I took her for myself to a wife and now here! wife your take [her] and go.
Hvorfor sagde du, at hun var din Søster, saa at jeg tog hende til Hustru? Se, her har du nu din Hustru, tag hende og gaa bort!«
20 And he commanded on him Pharaoh men and they sent away him and wife his and all that [belonged] to him.
Og Farao bød sine Mænd følge ham og hans Hustru og al deres Ejendom paa Vej;
